    Man, that's some serious wind when even the 74's and trip 7's get bounced around like that. Great footage!

    It cannot get better than this. Nice spotting with all the tech now available (good cameras, real time info about trafic, busy place with challenging conditions etc.) I always scrutinize surface deflections and power adjustments on these landing videos. And of course the touchdown but I understand this is more about good luck (or lack thereof) than anything else. Loved your intro BTW, quite funny about the hair gel :-) Keep up the good work. I'm happy to see pilots interested in spotting as well, not that many I think.

    I've only flown light GA aircraft, but it's really cool to watch the crosswind lessons I learned happening, and on such massive aircraft! Hats off to you heavy metal folks. Some damned nice flying... and a few not so nice... but as they say, if you walk away it's a good landing. If the plan walks away, it's a great one.

    Lou...thanks for posting some great landing footage on a very windy day.....I remember when I was a youngster my father would park on a road just outside of O'Hare airport ...... we would watch the planes on final for touchdown at about 50 feet directly over our heads...... much respect to the men and woman pilots and their skill levels......

    Wow LouB747...it’s amazing to watch the skill of these pilots navigate that cross wind....I watched your other video of the planes having to perform go around because of wind shear and it made my hands really sweaty just watching it. I can’t imagine what it must be like trying to land these massive 747’s and 380’s with all that wind...such beautiful aircraft from multiple 787’s to 747’s to 777’s to airbus a340-600, a 330 and airbus a221 etc...amazing stuff. My friend u have an amazing life! Doc david

    @Jimbo-in-Thailand 5 років тому +1

    Those landings were silky smooth compared to the 'crash' landing of our United 747 at Narita about 10 years ago in similarly horrible crosswind conditions. Short final was like a wild amusement park ride. The pilot was clearly on the edge fighting for control. Once past the threshhold he literally slammed the bucking and yawing jumbo jet onto the runway. The impact was immense with tires squealing from the misaligned touchdown. I gotta admit I thought we were done as the too-fast bird violently bounced back into the air, still yawing wildly. Rinse and repeat a few more times then the pilot apparently snagged the last 'carrier deck wire' and abruptly slammed on the brakes. I'm sure he had to change his shorts after that one... as did many of the passengers, myself included.
    Looking back, I don't know if that was a truly skilled pilot who saved the day or just a semi-competent moron who nearly made worldwide headline news. I'm leaning towards the latter as the idiot should have done a go-around during the worsening bucking bronco short final. And those were the days when United was still a respected airline.

    Excellent footage...!!! I'll be flying into Narita for my 2 week bucket list trip on a JAL 787-9. I have heard that Narita is NOTORIOUS for heavy cross wind landings. But i also noticed even in this wind the 777's and 787's weren't having many issues and there landing were rather smoother. Then say the 767 and A330's that were bouncing around a lot more. I'm no expert in aviation just love plane spotting and my theory is the wind had a hard time overtaking the power of the 777 and 787 larger engines. Correct me if i'm wrong on that but that's just my theory. Most of the 747's didn't have any issues either but they were naturally heavier being freighter planes which i would think helps in putting them down easier. God willing my JAL 787-9 will land smoothly...LOL

    • @loub747

    Hey Lou, brilliant footage & work. A question for you. Is it just me, or are the engines on the 747-8 bunched closer together? Or is it an optical allusion, given the new & different wing design over the older generation 747s? Keep up the great work!!

    • @loub747
      @loub747  6 років тому

      Thank you. I'll have to take a look. I know on models of the 747-8, the engines seem a bit off. The -8 does have a longer span, so that could make them look bunched together.....

    Great video Lou. Was that the same ‘dancing’ WGA 747 from your previous clip or just unfortunate to dance again? Good to see your colleagues getting down well although I think one had the left hand mains up for a second or two. I did look up the windsock and fully extended appears to be 15 knots or greater. Great clip to watch after getting up from bed. Beats Breakfast TV anytime.

I used to work at this airport, so it's kinda special for me. Cheers! BTW Lou, I don't know if you're a long-timer flying into Narita but if you are, you might be one of the few who remembers "The Trailer" (the tiny trailer bar in front of the ANA hotel) which was a very notorious watering hole for pilots and crew back in the day (90's)....Me and a lot of the foreigners who lived in Narita back then used to drink there quite a bit. Met lots of characters there....Amazed that some pilots would get hammered there and still fly lol

  • @ramtek2702
    @ramtek2702 5 років тому +1

    There are no "typhoon" strength crosswinds in this or any other video because to be considered a typhoon (or a hurricane) a storm must possess sustained winds of at least 75mph which is considerably higher that the allowable crosswind component of any aircraft flying today. There is some excellent flying in this video but none of it is in crosswinds of typhoon strength. Before anybody asks, YES I am a pilot.

    Being a pilot yourself, what does it feel like observing other pilots approaching to land? Do you go through the landing process in your mind yourself as you watch?

    • @loub747
      @loub747  6 років тому +10

      Interesting question. It's hard to judge without being in the cockpit, so I just enjoy the view. I do probably watch the aileron and elevator movements more than most people would. The power changes too. Going around is always a safe option, that said, after a long flight with minimal fuel, it's not always that easy. Your alternate airport is probably just as windy. Narita is one of the wildest approaches with a strong SW wind.

    Hi Lou, that's some great footage. I noticed there is a lot of NCA 747's it looks like they are 747 200's. If I'm not mistaken don't you fly for NCA? But you fly a 747 8 isn't that correct?

    • @loub747
      @loub747  4 роки тому +1

      I’d have to rewatch it, but I don’t believe there are any 200s in this video. Most likely 8s. Yeah, all 8s at NCA now. Flew our last 400 to the desert about 6 months ago.
